Detroit teen charged with intent to murder in crime spree

Deangelo Owens, 17, of Southfield, Michigan has been charged with 14 felonies including carjacking, unlawful imprisonment, armed robbery and intent to murder.

Owens shot 81-year-old retired police officer Moses Baldwin in the shoulder as the two exchanged gunfire outside of a post office. The shooter later fled in Baldwin’s car.

Owens is also accused in the shooting of a 52-year-old delivery man a week earlier. As Owens and an unknown male approached the victim, they pointed a handgun at the man and forced him to the floor. The victim attempted to force them from the vehicle but was shot near his armpit.

The teen faces a preliminary examination in Detroit’s 36th District Court for his crimes and if convicted may receive life in prison.
